I like Laura Moriarty. I really do. She's really, really nice and her first novel, The Center of Everything, was quite good. I had a lot of hopes for her. I scooped her second novel up right away. Huge disappointment. And when the third, While I'm Falling came out, I was slow to buy it and even slow...
I started this yesterday and about 20% in it reminded me of something. A short while later I realized that I had in fact read this book before and started remembering everything that was going to happen. I went ahead and finished it because I didn't think I remembered it well enough to write a dec...

The reader is informed at the very beginning of the story that the daughter was the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed another young girl. The m...
The main character in this book seemed really sweet - sorta naive, though I guess that was just because she was young. But the story never really went anywhere, it just "was". Entertaining while it lasted, but it would have been nice to have some sort of real plot.
The Center of Everything was a book I raved about, a book I pushed on to unsuspecting people, a book I adored. The Rest of Her Life is much more formulaic, more like a Jodi Picoult novel, with a sad problem revolving around human dynamics. Kara, a young girl about to graduate from high school, acci...
